Rika isn't sure, though she hypothesizes it might be that her worship may have waned over time, resulting in a corresponding decrease of her power.

Another explanation is that perhaps Hanyuu has a somewhat limited amount of power that she has been expending over time.

Witches never act directly in Higurashi (except for Bern talking to Akasaka and Miyoko once), so there's no reason to thing that they can affect the world rather than simply favoring certain events through the manipulation of the kakera. And there's only one witch we see in Higurashi, and if she weakened Hanyuu she'd be destroying herself. As for ΛΔ, she doesn't seem to care about Hanyuu.

Oishi brings it up in the manga of the Himatsubushi-hen. We see some more sonozaki family in Minagoroshi-hen chapter in anime, so trying to put faces to the names. Also in Watanagashi-hen game, says she has like ~9+ uncles in the TIPS section!

Question. It has to do with a question that was answered by kj1980 in the 'Your Qs for Higurashi Answered' thread.

About a question originally posted by dxgarten:

Spoiler for Question about Rika's Death(s)...:

I would understand that Rika couldn't remember dying when she was Watanagashi'ed because she was unsconcious, and could remember being tortured or comitting suicide because she was conscious, but in Minagoroshi, I think it is, she specifically asked ______ (I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say the name of the villain, so I'll just put a blank and assume you know who it is...) to stay conscious when she was Watanagashi'ed, and she did. But after she was rebooted, she still couldn't remember. Was that just the anime mixing things up, or is Rika only capable of remembering her death outside of being Watanagashi'ed?

Sorry for the slightly confusing way I explained it, I've never been good at explaining things.

In the first episode of Kai, I was wondering why did they bring up a topic about aliens and then it wasn't mentioned anymore in the later episodes? Was it just a wrong speculation?
Also, I don't like the new OVAs that are coming out but when all 5 OVAs are aired, will there be another season?

Spoiler for Answers:

For the first question, the first episode was the future of the last arc of the first season, Tsumihoroboshi, where Rena believed the alien parasite theory, so it was continuing on that. It never actually says flat out in the anime what theory was the true theory, so it's up to you wether or not you think it wasn't the truth.
As far as I know, the third season is the last season that is going to be animated. Sorry, I disliked some of them too ;____;.

We have another live movie and they likely be a third after that. Then probably another rehash game to go with the three.

What makes you think there will be a third live movie? Those two question and answer arcs can make a fairly self-sufficient story, especially since Tsumihoboroshi-hen has fairly happy ending. Them having more answer arcs when they haven't covered any of the other question arcs might feel out of place.

Yeah, if they keep making more arcs after the whole syndrome issue is resolved then it'll make ratings go down, kinda like making more fillers after the main point of the story is finished. However, I feel something is missing and not satisfied with the ending. Maybe that's just me and it happens every time a series end.
